BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography incompatible with Author-Year Citations

[nicr]

Hi

I'm always receiving the following message:

Package natbib error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations.

Please, could someone help me?

My files are:

Code: Select all

\input{settings}
\begin{document}
\include{texs/draft}
\bibliographystyle{alpha-fr}
\bibliography{biblio/essai}
\end{document}

with draft:

Code: Select all

future \cite{glunznz}

and "essai.bib":

Code: Select all

@article{glunznz,
  author = {Glunz, S. W. and Preu, R. and Biro, D.},
  title = {Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells: State-of-the-Art and Future Developments},
  year = {2012},
  journal = {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa},
  pages = {11 - 11}
}

A compilable minimal working example would be really great. Your bibliography style doesn't seem to work with natbib, see the documentation for more information.

Nevertheless, if you have to freedom to choose, i strongly advice you to use biblatex along with biber.


Best regards
Johannes

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
	@article{glunznz,
		author = {Glunz, S. W. and Preu, R. and Biro, D.},
		title = {Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells:
			State-of-the-Art and Future Developments},
		year = {2012},
		journal = {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa},
		pages = {11 - 11}
	}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\cite{glunznz}
\bibliographystyle{alpha-fr}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

The used bibliography style is from the bib-fr package but seems not to be compatible. Use one of the natbib compatible styles instead that are provided by the package.

If you need a French bibliography, you might be interested in using babelbib or in Johannes' suggestion.

I composed an MWE myself, please see my post above. I don't get any error or warning, can you confirm this?

EDIT reason: orthography

[nicr]

Thank you very much Johannes_B und Thorsten for your answers.
_ Johannes_B: I already have Latex Biber. I use it only when I want to compile over some chapters which have their own bibliographies.
_ Thorsten: Indeed. Since I suppressed the alpha-fr style, there is no failure anymore.
Thanks once more!
